This a commentary about President Donald John Trump's pardoning of twenty-three pro-life prisoners of conscience, including two people from years past whom I have known and for I have prayed every day for decades, John Hinshaw and Mrs. Joan Andrews Bell, and a reminder about the simple fact that baby-butchery did not start with Roe v. Wade, January 22, 1973, and that baby-killing continues even in most of the "red" states with "exceptions" included in their anti-baby-killing legislation as well as in each of the "blue" states nearly three years after Roe's overthrow in the case of Thomas E. Dobbs, Mississippi State Health Officer v. Jackson Women's Organization, June 24, 2022. 

Although I have been working on a commentary about former President in Name Only Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.'s., pardon of hardened criminals, almost every member of his immediately family and of Anthony Fauci, this current commentary took precedence. Indeed, I will follow up this commentary in light of President Trump's video message to the March for Life today as well as the remarks that will be delivered at the March itself by Vice President James David Vance.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Timothy, pray for us.

So much was done by former President in Name Only Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and so much was said by President Donald John Trump on Monday, January 20, 2025, the Feast of Saints Fabian and Sebastian, to say nothing of how much President Trump has done and is doing after having begun his second term as President of the United States of America, that it is going to take several articles to cover everything in the depth that I believe is necessary to put those words and actions into a coherent Catholic perspective.

This current commentary deals with the refusal of Timothy Michael Dolan and a "Father" Frank Mann to utter the Holy Name of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in their respective orations at the inauguration of President Trump and Vice President James David Vance in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, January 20, 2025, the Feast of Saints Fabian and Sebastian. The next commentary will discuss former President in Name Only Joseph Robinette Biden's shameful pardons issued before he left office as he closed a shameful political career being very faithful to the hyprocrisy that has been his hallmark. 

Today is the fifty-second anniversary of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the cases of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Baby-killing is still taking place in the United States of America and around the world. A commentary about the current state of affairs in this country will be published either on Friday, January 24, 2025, the Feast of Saint Timothy, or on Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle and the Commemoration of Saint Peter. Remember to ask your priests to ring church bells at noon today, local time: 

“Setting off a wave for LIFE that will resonate from sea to shining sea…“

By: Randy Engel 

The U.S. Coalition for Life (USCL), the nation’s oldest prolife research organization, is asking pastors of every prolife denomination throughout the United States to ring their church bells at NOON local time on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 – the 55^th anniversary of Roe V. Wade – in loving memory of the millions of unborn children that have since been lost to abortion.  

CHURCH BELLS FOR LIFE is a clarion call to the entire Prolife Movement to renew its commitment to securing a Constitutional Human Life Amendment, one that acknowledges and protects the life of unborn children at all stages of human development. 

“Bells for Life,” explained Randy Engel, the founder of the USCL, “should ring out loudest in Washington, D.C., so that President Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated just two days earlier, may come to understand that his greatest possible legacy will come from taking the lead in protecting the lives of millions of pre-born American citizens from the barbaric practice of abortion, whether conceived in their mother’s womb or in a laboratory.” 

“I think that most in the prolife community believe that God protected President Trump from an assassination attempt so that he might gain a renewed appreciation for the priceless gift of life. As President of the United States, he has a unique opportunity to express his gratitude to God by extending that same protection to countless unborn human beings. And there is no better way than backing a no-exception Constitutional Human Life Amendment,” Engel noted.

“Whatever else President Trump might accomplish in his second administration,” concluded Engel, “history will always consider it secondary in importance to his public decision to help end, not regulate, the ongoing mass extermination of our nation’s progeny.”

The U.S. Coalition for Life is asking all readers to personally contact their parish priests, pastors, or ministers to obtain their commitment to the “CHURCH BELLS FOR LIFE” project. 

Church Bells will commence ringing on the east coast at Noon (EST) on January 22, 2025, setting off a wave for LIFE that will resonate from sea to shining sea. 

Please direct all questions to USCL Director Randy Engel at rvte61@comcast.net. 

Droleskey here again: While we know full well that President Donald John Trump has taken a stand in the past two years that has excoriated “extremists” who want to ban all surgical baby-killing without exception and has said that his incoming administration will do nothing to stop the mailing of the human pesticide, miracles are possible.

Thus, I strongly encourage every traditional Catholic bishop and priest no matter where they fall on the vast expanse of the ecclesiastical divide in this time of apostasy and betrayal to join in the ringing of their church bells for life at noon today, Wednesday, January 22, 2025. This is something that should unite all Catholic clergy as it would be a very powerful message to send to the new administration and to members of Congress that no country can be made great either “again” or for the first time while the shedding of the blood of innocent babies continues under cover of civil law.

Finally, I would ask all those who access this website to pray Our Lady’s Holy Rosary at noon today to pray fervently for restoration of legal protection for all innocent human life without exception from the moment of conception until death.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Vincent and Anastasius, pray for us.

[Update on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 11:45 p.m.: As much has happened today, starting with Bitter Biden the Demonic Demagogue’s pardoning of his entire family, and then continuing with the lecture given by United States Senator Amy Klobuchar Bessler (D-Peoples Republic of Minnesota and then with the “opening prayers” delivered by Timothy Michael Dolan, who did not mention the name of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ once, and William Franklin “Son of  the Fuller Brush Man” Graham IV, who did mention Our Lord’s Holy Name, President Donald John Trump’s inaugural address, the “benedictions” given by a Talmudic rabbi, a Baptist preacher, and a presbyter from the Diocese of Brooklyn who put Fred and Mary Trump in Heaven and did not mention Our Lord’s Holy Name in this month of the Holy Name, and everything that followed thereafter, including various executive actions and pardons—although for only one jailed pro-life rescuer so far, I am unable to provide you with a commentary on today’s proceedings now.

[However, I will be at my battle station tomorrow and will try to provide a Catholic perspective on all that was said and done for publication as soon as possible.

[For the moment, though, suffice it to say the Pelagian lie of human self-redemption still reigns supreme (“Americans can do whatever they put their minds to doing,” etc.) and that no country can be made great, either again or for the first time, without a due submission to Christ the King and His true Church in all that pertains to the good of souls.

[A remarkable day?

[To be sure. Of course.

[Glad to be rid of Biden and Harris? Absolutely.

[Was it “business as usual” with diplomatic niceties today? No, and that was a good thing, naturally speaking.

[Still and all then, men need to belong to the true Faith and seek to cooperate with Our Lady’s graces to persist in a state of Sanctifying Grace, which is the necessary precondition for their nations to have a just order within their borders and a genuine peace with other nations.

[It is still Christ or Chaos, and I will never tire of reminding the readers of this site about this simple truth.

[Pray for conversion of the new president and his vice president. Pray for the conversion of the United States of America and entrust everything we do to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary as we pray as many Rosaries each day as our state-in-life permits.

[Viva Cristo Rey!]

The computer on which these articles are written is making an awfully strange sound now.

Thus, this introduction must be brief enough to inform you that this is the long-delayed commentary on the continued harm being caused by the Wuhan Virus poisoned jabs developed under the warped Operation Warp Speed continues to be covered up and that in spite of this harm--or perhaps because of it--that William Henry Gates III is looking foward to another such operation to develop a "vaccine" for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) with the "blessing," he claims of the incoming President of the United States of America, Donald John Trump, who still believes that the "warp speed" jabs saved millions of lives.

Pray your Rosaries.

There is no salvation to the left or to the right. 

Trust in Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Chrsit and rely upon the maternal intecession and protection of His Most Blessed Mother.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax and Abucham, pray for us.

Sant Canute, King of Denmark, pray for us.

Saint Wulstan, pray for us.

Given the fact, though, that Bitter Biden the Demonic Demagogue gave his farewell address on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, the Feast of Saint Paul the First Hermit and the Commemoration (in parts of the United States of America) of Our Lady of Prompt Succour, I have decided to devote this original commentary to reviewing just two of the many hypocritical passages in the outgoing naturalist’s mumbled address.

There are also reflections on the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter in Rome and of Saints Prisca and of the saints that follow on January 19 and 20 found in the appendices after the text of this commentary.

Finally, the Chair of Unity Octave begins today and runs through Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle. Here is a link to the official Prayers for the Chair of Unity Octave as prepared by Friars Press, Lafayette, Louisiana.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint Prisca, pray for us.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio has once again disparaged Catholics, especially the young, who are attached to the modernized version of the Immemorial Mass of Tradition within the structures of his counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Bergoglio’s hatred for the true Mass has its root in his hatred of the true Faith, whose immutable doctrine and traditions are best expressed and protected in the Immemorial Mass of Tradition. Bergoglio sees the true Mass as a harbor, a safe haven, if you will, for those who have not come to accept the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s efforts to implement every condemned (dating back in Modernism’s incipient form to the condemnations contained in The Syllabus of Errors and at the Vatican Council prior to Pope Saint Pius X’s condemnations in Pascendi Dominci Gregis and Pope Pius XII’s condemnation in Humani Generis of the Modernism contained in the so-called “new theology” that nurtured and sustained Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI throughout the course of his seventy-one years of priestly apostasy) Modernist presupposition about the Holy Faith and every falsehood about the Sacred Liturgy that was condemned by Pope Pius XII in Mediator Dei, November 20, 1947.

The ever “tolerant” and “merciful” Jorge Mario Bergoglio has no toleration for refuseniks within his false religious sect. We must pray that these refuseniks come to recognize that the problem they face is not with this or that conciliar “pope” but with a false religion that rejects Catholic Faith, Worship, and Morals.

I will resume work on yet another commentary about the coronascam plandemic that began five years ago and whose aftermath is still taking the lives of those who continue to trust in the “word” of medical “professionals” that the poisoned jabs are not only “safe” to get but “vital” to the “health” of the world. This commentary may take a few days to complete, but I expect it to be published no later than Saturday, January 18, 2025, the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter in Rome and the Commemoration of Saint Prisca.

Our Lady of Prompt Succour, pray for us.

Saint Paul the First Hermit, pray for us.

Saint Maurus the Abbot, pray for us.

This is a brief commentary discussing outgoing president in name only Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.'s, bestowing the Presidential Medal of Freedom upon Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The citation accompanying the medal said Jorge was like no one before him.

Ain't it da truth.

A blessed Octave Day of the Epiphany to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth and the Commemoration of the First Sunday after the Epiphany within the Octave of the Epiphany. 

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ chose to become Man in His Most Blessed Mother's Virginal and Immaculate Womb by the power of the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, and place Himself, the Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Son of God the Father, under subjection to mere creatures His Most Blessed Mother, the fairest flower of our race, and to Good Saint Joseph, his foster-father.

The subjection of the God-Man to the authority of His Most Blessed Mother and his foster-father, whom He had chosen from all eternity to provide Him with the earthly love and care and stewardship of a father seeking only to please God with his every thought, word and deed, teaches us that we, who came from families and who, in many instances, are raising families of our own, must be subject to all legitimate authority, duly constituted, in all things that do not pertain to sinful commands. Children are supposed to learn this subjection in the household from their tenderest days, seeing in their fathers the image of Saint Joseph and in their mothers the image of Our Lady.

Children are supposed to realize that God in the very Flesh obeyed His creatures in the Holy Family of Nazareth. So must they.

Parents must, for their part, foster an atmosphere within the family of selflessness, charity, forgiveness and joy, centering the family's life on daily assistance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (if at all possible), regular time spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary, supplications to Our Lady's Most Chaste Spouse, Saint Joseph, home enthronement to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Total Consecration to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the same Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scriptural reading and family reading time, especially about the lives of the saints, and a refusal to participate in the rot of popular culture.

This requires sacrifice and the willingness to be misunderstood, calumniated and rejected even by one's own family members as we protect our children from those cultural currents that come from the devil and are designed to lead each of us to Hell for all eternity. To eschew worldliness one must be ready to embrace the Holy Poverty of the Holy Family of Nazareth, detaching oneself from the material acquisitiveness of our consumer society, shaped by Judeo-Calvinist materialism, and to live in light of First Things and Last Things as we week to acquire the only thing that matters: Sanctifying Grace in this life and eternal life in the glory of the Beatific Vision of Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Heaven. 

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we love you, save souls!

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, pray for us now and in death's agony.

A blessed Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth to you all. 

P.S.  “Woke” Produces Sloth, Incompetence, Malfeasance, Ignorance, and Mismanagement was published about nineteen hours ago. I will have new commentary tomorrow, January 13, 2025, the Octave of the Epiphany of Our Lord that contains the Gospel account of His second manifestation, that to His cousin, Saint John the Baptist, the last of the Old Testament Prophets, to receive a symbolic baptism He did not need but submitted Himself thereto to fulfill every word that He had caused to be written about Himself in the Old Testament, to give us an example of obedience and humility we must follow, and to sanctify the waters of the Jordan--and hence of the world--for the Baptism of regeneration that He would make possible for us by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday.

This is a follow-up to the commentary published on this site two days ago.

Although I do not want to do so, I suppose that I must give Senor Jorge and his false religious sect some attention in my next original commentary, which will be followed by my long-delayed commentary on the coronascam five years after it began.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Hyginus I, pray for us.

This is a brief reflection on the terrible wildfires afflicting southern California at this time.

While praying for all those who lost their lives and those who have lost their homes and belongings or are at risk of such loss, we must always remember that disasters of this sort are meant to remind us to fear the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, those pains being principally the eternal loss of the Beatific Vision of the Most Holy Trinity as the souls are the damned are tortured without cease by pains of eternal hellfire that, unlike wildfires that are either put out or burn out on their own, can never be quenched.

Our Lady, Queen of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.

Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, pray for us.
